PAPER SHANKS

Offending society one card at a time.
A Paper Shank card (PSC) is a card with attitude. It is for unusual situations, hate mail, taboo subject matter or a play on words. The origin of the word "shank" is prison slang. {Shank, Shanked. A homemade knife made out of scrap metal found anywhere and sharpened like a knife. Shanked. To be stabbed by a homemade knife}. So a Paper Shank is a handmade card that might feel like you have been stabbed in the back or in the heart.

"...I enjoyed perusing your shop. Especially the way your cards LOOK like saccherine crafter cards, but pack a wallop with the message!" "When I need a good laugh I love to visit the Dirty Shanks card blog. These are definitely not cards you’d want to sent to your grandma but would probably love to send to that horrible ex boyfriend or your nasty boss Some cards might be offensive to some, so you’ve been warned! But I have a twisted sense of humor and find them really hilarious. Check out the Dirty Shanks blog and judge for yourself. And if you don’t like it she loves to post her hate mail:)"-Heather from Craft Gossipp
